..she fell off the stand last night, and my headstock cracked :'(
it's my brothers guitar, but he said he didn't really feel as sad when it happened as he thought, because in the year and a half he's had it, it didn't satisfy him as he thought it would...it's a Les Paul Studio...my brother wants to use it as our summer project, because he doesn't want to spend like $300+ to get the thing repaired since he doesn't care much, and he wants to do it himself, because at the cost of f'ing it up, he doesn't really care...but since it's set neck, i take it there's no way to buy a replacement neck? I'm lookin for Light's answer to all of this..i know you'll tell me to bring it to a trained luthier and everything but my brother's just probably going to buy a new strat and he wants to work on this one over the summer *sand her down, get a new finish, new hardware, add the binding lol* and all of that...but I need a direction to look in to find neck replacement? we were thinking of gluing or possibly screwing it wehre the crack is, but glue would just ensure years of it coming out of tune because the string tension would probably keep it out of place..hmm?
